Thankful For You

Hello there friends. I didn't get a card up yesterday like I said and thought I would.  Too many errands to do which is normal on the day I have the car.

I did get a chance to get one together  today which I will be posting over on  the Jennifer McGuire blog. She is doing a Share Handmade Kindness challenge and this is week one: Friends and Family and I'm also sharing it over at Word Art Wednesday.

This was really a timely post for me. This past Tuesday at Bible Study, the ladies I got share with in our prayer time, were talking about how important it was to thank others and show it by "snail mail". We are all so accustomed to texting or emails, but a nice hand written note or card would be so special.  That set a little thought into action. I make cards so I decided to make each of them (3ladies) a card for them to send to a special friend or family member. 

Why not stop by Jennifer's and the Word Art Wednesday blogs to receive some great inspiration and perhaps win some prizes!

Have a wonderful and blessed weekend and I hope you can do something CRAFTY!

Crafty Hugs,
Bernie Bee

Sending Many Thanks/Mojo422/ctd367

Today I settled in to enter a card for MOJO#422  and the Color Throwdown ctd367 challenges. I had planned to post a card on Monday, but unfortunately over the weekend my hubby was admitted to the ER with Pulmonary Embolisms and DVT. This was his second incident since January and we were trusting it was taken care of then.

But we are rejoicing in Gods answer to prayer, for not only having him suspect something was just not right, but getting to the hospital before it was as serious as the last time. He also was able to come home on Monday evening which was a answer to our prayers. He'll have to be on blood thinners indefinitely, but he has accepted that and is moving on.

Now on to my card...

I had fun playing with the colors and this sketch is one that I will be keeping around.  I went back and forth about adding texture to the mason jar, but in the end I just decided to add the twine to the gold die cut paper.

I hope you have a wonderful remainder of the day.  I'm off to clean up my "mess" and work on a card for the Share Handmade Kindness Challenge over at Jennifer McGuire's blog this week @sharehandmadekindness.com

Now go do something CRAFTY my friends!

Crafty Hugs,
Bernie Bee
